In case you didn't know, I love make up brushes. I wanted/needed to add brushes to my collection. My first choice was sigmabeauty.com but when I got to the checkout, shipping to Ireland was $20 plus the total amount of the brushes. I just couldn't justify it. Sigma will have to wait. I needed a bronzer/blush brush, contour brush and another eye brush.

These brushes are definitely for minimal application of product. They are so soft and fabulous to use but I find product application is very light.
The largest brush is a powder brush and compared to my first Real Techniques powder brush it definitely applied less product. However, to combat this I use the flat side of the brush and press it in to my powder. That has definitely helped with my application of powder, although still less than the powder brush below.
The brush on the left is a contour brush. As a contour newbie this has been the perfect brush for me. As I said before the application of product is not heavy. This brush applies the perfect amount of blush to my cheeks and the right amount of bronzer to contour with. Also, this brush can be used for two purposes. Contour and blush! I use the top of the brush for contouring and the side of the brush for blush. The only downside is that if you do want to darken the blush and bronzer you do have to repeat your brush movements at least 3 or 4 times. It can be time consuming.
The eye brush in the centre is also a lovely brush. On the box it says to use this brush for finishing touches. I like to do the opposite. I like to use it for applying my base colour. It is a very good brush for spreading colour across the lid and also for blending. However, just like the other brushes if you do want to use it for applying colour you have to repeat the application a few times.
Overall, I like these brushes. They're good for someone like me who he is still learning. I can practice techniques like contouring which can be challenging at the start and still end up looking human!
They retail at €29.99 and can be purchased in Boots and online.
I hope this helps!
